Yes man, I had it too. Once, I gave the phone call to my honey "bike is down, can you come and pick me up". Then, five minutes later, i tried and... miracle, it started. I just called Honey "just wait, I try to go home by myself" and, then riding out of town, succeeded.
I finished analysing this. This could be due to the electrolytic condensators in the cdi module getting old. Their capacity decreases. In somem circumstances (ride in town, poor air cooling), the cdi gets hot and, at low rpms, the bike stops. Until the cdi cools and the bike starts again. I decided to change these condensators. Will do this within two month. Will tell you. Best regards JP At 15:29 26/02/2009 -0800, you wrote: > Bought my Nighthawk last spring and put about 5K miles on it and >It's been great.
